Chapter 77: One Night Trip
Xavier shook his head, smiling faintly as he observed how flustered Iris had become. "Relax! I wouldn’t take you on a sudden trip without getting permission from Grandma Gray," Xavier replied calmly. However, his words seemed to confuse Iris even more.
He continued to explain, "Actually, this trip was your grandmother’s idea. She asked me to take you on a holiday. She mentioned that you haven’t traveled in the past year. How could I refuse her suggestion?"
Iris felt like her jaw had dropped upon hearing that.
’Grandma! How could you betray your own kin? Why are you so eager to keep us together?’ Iris couldn’t help but question her grandma’s recent effort. How shameless!
After taking a deep breath, Iris once again looked at Xavier, her gaze now sharp and intense. "Xavier, thank you for fulfilling Grandma’s wish. But you should have told me beforehand so I could be prepared." She paused when he glanced at her, "We will stay one night at Darkhill, but I didn’t bring anything..."
"You don’t have to worry about that, Iris. I’ve already prepared everything." A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his lips before he continued, "Why do you look annoyed? You should be happy because now you have time with me, right?" He tried to lighten her mood. He could see how annoyed she was.
Iris can’t hold it anymore. She has to remind him about their relationship.
"Looks like you’ve already forgotten about our deal. This is only a fake relationship, Xavier!" She said barely audibly, but for Xavier, it felt like a bolt of lightning striking his ears. His pale face gradually darkened. For some unknown reason, he didn’t like hearing her statement.
Not hearing his response, Iris turned to look at Xavier, only to be shocked by the sudden chill in his expression.
